This year's Great Michigan Read Event book choice is 'The Women of Copper Country' by Mary Doria Russell. It is about the 1913 strike of the copper workers in Calumet, Michigan and the women who were behind it. Join us for some other programming on the theme of union strikes in Michigan and also about mining in Michigan. Our programming will culminate with an event with the author Mary Doria Russell. 

Join us to watch this PBS documentary that tells the story of early mining towns in the Upper Peninsula, then and now.*

Masks will be required to attend this event regardless of vaccination status, please keep this in mind when you register. 

*This is an in-person event, subject to change. 

This event is open to the public.
